Trip to LA...

This has absolutely nothing to do with surviving in an RV...I'm back from a day trip to LA. Granddaughter, Paige was going to UCLA for her orientation so I rode along. She went off with confidence to her orientation and we walked around the campus. I'm not a person who likes the heat nor large groups of people. As we walked up and down the campus hills it became hotter. I was able to see Paige's dorm and toured the bookstore. There were lots of young people there for orientation plus lots of younger people there for sports activities and workshops so it was very crowded. With all the people it just became too hot so we decided it was time to leave and see a few things in LA before heading home. Once we left the campus, we decided to go to a grocery store in Beverly Hills. Julie is also a cook and it just seemed like a natural thing for us to do. There was lots of fresh produce and an awesome deli. Once we had toured the market, we drove over to PINKS hot dog stand. It is an LA icon and has been around since 1939. They are known for their chili dogs and onion rings so that's what we had. Then we drove around some of the posh neighborhoods and looked at houses and landscaping. We also saw lots of trendy shops but did not take the time to stop at any of them. Next we went for ice cream and cookies and then drove back through the campus before we headed back north. All in all it was a nice relaxing day.
